VK Lingam Tape Findings: Thanks for the obvious revelation but what's next?

One more week to go.

Is this a cause for celebration? I am not sure. But what happened last week was an eye opener. I have to admit, I am naive. I realised as much as I would like to avoid any "bad blood" and hoped for an orderly handover, more often than not, it will never happen. One can only propose, truly God is the only one who disposes. Things are complicated when everyone inevitably ask, "What is in it for me?"

Sigh...

Anyway, on the headlines yesterday, apparently the royal commission has concluded VK Lingam spoke to Fairuz. So what's new? Additional evidence that our judiciary is less than independent? Like the recent judicial reform general proposals and acknowledgement from the PM on what happened in the 1988 judicial crisis? Mahathir of course said this the royal commission is a scam perpetrated by Anwar as a form of "blackmail". This got me thinking though.

Considering the actions of late and if we follow the money trail, surely someone else, other than Anwar, will benefit from this "revelation". Someone who has everything to lose if this tape was not revealed in the first place? Well, two wrongs wouldn't make one right...

Of course, the wide repercussion of this whole episod has added to the long list of grievances suffered by the rakyat be it skyrocketing prices of goods and services, erosion of non-Muslim rights and increasing blatant display of opulence enjoyed by those in power and/or those seen walking close to them. I need not repeat what happened on March the 8th.

I will wait for the full report to be made public. Importantly, will the Government have the will to go further? To truly institute real lasting reforms that will restore the judiciary to where it was pre-1988?
